I love these moments when listening to a bunch of records you find one truely outstanding among them... the kind of record that make you wanna explore the whole discography of the artist(s). Now, here's such a record:

Pat D & Melodiq "This is the time" EP [A bridge too far recordings]



This EP is a combination of a talented UK producer, Pat D aka Patrick Dooner, with a dope emcee from Pittsburgh, Melodiq. The result is 4 beautiful jazzy hip hop tracks and an intro. Melodiq blesses Pat D strong productions with his clever lyrics and that's tough to say which track is my favorite!


I like'em all but I think 2 of them deserve a special mention:

"Keep on"


"Doin this"


The icing on the cake is the wonderful artwork provided by french artist Mzel which makes this record a necessary buy for any good hip hop lover! Hurry up, this EP was released in december 2006 (damn, I can't believe that it took 7 months to arrive to my ears!).
And be on the look out for Pat D new project "Kind of peace" in collaboration with UK female emcee Lady Paradox. To be continued...
